This is why when people tell me, "You're smart." I just kinda shake my head at them and walk away.

Something I will forever take away from Lex is how truly thankful and humble he remains to technology, the pursuit of knowledge, and life's givings. Every show he says how grateful he is to have the internet and be able to do the thing's he does in this day and age. For all the doom and gloom and endless questions his spirit remains.

Yes this is true and i don't think either of them really considered it properly. What if you had an immensely powerful computer that could work out all theoretical interactions in the universe and predict any outcome? Well it still would not be able to.... because the computer itself in doing the calculations using energy and matter would be changing the outcome that it itself is trying to work out! It is hard to describe exactly but my intuition is that it all becomes meaningless to an extent when you consider that the brain / consciousness can never get out of the way of itself when trying to think about what it all means on a deeper level.

@@User-xm1db, I know the meaning of existence: Love of Truth in Awareness. Awareness without Truth is pointless; it's lost in darkness, in pure chaos, with no foundation, no comfort, nothing to Love. Truth without Awareness is also pointless. What good would it be to have any Truth at all without any Awareness of it? Truth cannot be Loved without Awareness. Experience is the combination of Awareness and Truth (the Knower and the Known); so is Knowledge. There is no Experience possible without each one combined with the other. There is nothing beyond this, nothing that can transcend it; anything that might transcend it would simply be a higher level of it - a higher level of Awareness or a higher level of Truth in that Awareness. Awareness Loves Truth because Truth is the only thing that's Real. That is the meaning of existence.

The waves of the fundamental carrier frequency are not directly translated to neuronal activity. The amplitude-modulated envelope is. All of this has been known to science for how long?

This is exactly the foundational concept of the Buddhists philosophy of Cittamatra mind only/Vijñānavāda (विज्ञानवाद, the doctrine of consciousness) these ideas about a simulated reality are in no way new. The terms BrhamaJala, MayaJala, and IndraJala are all references to a mirrored multiplicity of universes with all posible realities existing simultaneously. A kind of Idealism where everything in existence is dependent/interdependent on consciousness as it's originator and that all physical existence is empty and likened to illusion. Lex I really think your podcast would be enriched by a hosting a Buddhist scholar well versed in Yogachara, Chan, and Huayan Buddhist philosophy. It would be very interesting to link AI to past buddhist geniuses who explored the nature of consciousness and postulate the reality of a multiverese and other intellectual beings.

This is one of the most mind blowing conversations I have heard! It draws together so many ideas and concepts that no one has spoken before. Concepts I had only previously had awareness of from my journeys with psychedelics.

Loving your content, I am now a subscriber. I feel a podcast on the rise, best of luck to you.

it's unbelievable that Joscha Bach uses the analogy with the mandelbrot set (as an infinitely complex structure built from a simple set of rules) in this way, that is, for how we get ever closer to understanding the infinitely complex nature of reality without ever getting there (as we don't know the generating/underlying rules). Maybe it is a stock example which I have never heard of, but I often use this analogy in nearly the same way, simply because I felt it was suited to illustrate such abstract matters - by virtue of being something more phenomenological.

What a privilege to share in this conversation. Thank you both.

I am loving these types of talks, way too go Lex!

I have been listening to Joscha Bach for a couple of weeks now slowly fathoming and building an understanding of his philosophy , if that is the right term , and for me quite a challenge to unravel and experience an understanding of his perceptions and deductions , fascinating . I’m left with a distinct wonderment that maybe one day his brain will explode!

Wow! What a great conversation! Please, invite Joscha again.

Lex, you are doing the most. Don't die out there in your travels. As a human, I wish you the most and hope nothing fortune for you.

Knowing and interacting in a respectful way, taking them seriously at face value, with people who have dementia and Alzheimer’s, we can clearly see how we do create and function within an alternative reality created out of our background and life experiences that is very different from who the person used to be or those not affected by these diseases.

I saw nearly all of this on DMT. Am grateful to Joscha for being able to verbalize it so concisely, I can only dream of having the linguistic capacity to even begin to convey the entirety of the message.

The idea of brains is just a thought we experience. You can't get behind experience. Saying that there is a real world out there that we don't experience is a con trick we play on ourselves. "There is reality but you can never know it" is the very line he was criticising at the beginning of this segment. It's clearly attractive for a programmer to see everything in terms of hardware and software but the evidence for that isn't to be found. The only facts are that there is experience and that includes awareness of experience. We don't know what has it or how it happens.

After all, 'real life' is indistinguishable from a dream while you're experiencing it.

A two year old comment so you might have changed your views... The response here is to baysien in your priors especially if there is no obvious way to reject those. So there is always some possibility that we are a brain in a vat or a world model future ai is building to understand itself. There is an outside world that is a causually closed structure seems to be a good theory. It is in some sense the next null hypothesis that everything is mechanical. We also "experience" dream while sleeping like normal world but some limitations (can't turn of the lights or read some long texts ) that can be attributed to limited working memory while sleeping. So a good test is to turn on/off the lights and observe if it's a dream or not. This along with other "experiential" evidence makes physicalism a strong prior.

Really fascinating stuff. I initially thought that Bach was going to talk about how we can never know the things itself ("das ding an sich" [the thing itself], as said by Immanuel Kant): when we observe reality, we are actually observing whatever our brain sees. So, by "we exist inside the story that the brain tells itself", I thought that he was going to say that we literally can't know anything (basically, metaphysical skepticism). But even "a level up", [it's all fucky]: assuming reality is real, we still are just models of the world; Bach's example of how we don't actually experience [electromagnetic and pressure waves], but a mental representation of it (as color and brightness, and pitch and volume). The discussion at the end about "identity" was also really interesting. Materialists will say that the mind comes from the body (from the brain) - and that *is* true - but there are different parts of your identity that "live" or "die". Actually, that ties into Bach's statements about how we are really just stories (that part confused and still confuses me): there is a notion of ourselves that we control, but the ideas inside our head and the "multimedia" experience aren't that. In terms of identity, there are parts of identity that correspond to this "conscious" part of us, but also parts of identity that doesn't necessarily leave us when we die (e.g., when the Dalai Lama identifies as government). (On a meta level: Initially listening to this, I had this gut reaction of, "this is some weird spiritualist stuff", because I didn't actually know who Bach was. I've been reading "Godel, Escher, Bach", and the author (Hofstadter) talks about Zen koans and stuff. I think I am a smart person, but I think I need to be more open to things that initially seemed far-fetched, an idea which I hope other people can benefit from.)

Could our realities be a creation by someone else who is doing our programming. I think we are like antennas receiving the signals which explains our inner dialogue. Are our thoughts really our own? I do not believe in manifestation, as it does not work unless the source is the programmer. Kind of like "thy will be done". Also I wonder if the motivation to achieve something comes from the programmers will; or do we actually have a free will. Who is writing our life story? Choice or predestination? Every choice changes reality but the question is who is really making the choice.

That was super confusing and amazing! I love it!!

This is probably the most amazing video I've ever watched. So many revelations!

My mind imposes a stillness on a universe in motion A stillness that's just an illusion A source of confusion For a mind that beholds creature shapes in the clouds Thinking it strange when things change Wrapping them in death shrouds Forgetting that life is neither still nor a frame in a film But a dramatic motion picture show Watched by the observer within Who sees in everything A beginning, a middle and end
